    The little igloos were quaint and cozy. Could fit up to 6, but 2-4 is best. They come with a heater so you’re plenty warm without a coat. Great food, great service. Everything was so delicious! Can’t wait until next time.

    Excellent food, truthfully, I’m not a wine drinker but my companion did like her wine. It’s clearly very popular and extremely loud. I’ve been to two locations and the noise level was very high both times. But the food has also been great for all of us.

    The bacon on bone was incredible. Perfectly cooked and while a pork chop is easy to dry out too much, this was not. Extremely flavorful. The meatballs were excellent. And their cocktails, particularly the Oof was as smooth as it gets. Will certainly be back. A great place in the heart of Ada.

    Wow! First timer and took my cousin out and it was her first time as well. Terrence was… how do I put this? PERFECTION! The moment he walked up to the table, he brought a smile to our faces, was inviting, informative, and energetic in a way that totally matched the vibes of MDRD. There was quite a large table of loud businessmen next to us, but thankfully they finished up within 45 mins or so of us taking a seat. Grateful for that because I felt like we were having to shout across our two top to hear each other over their booming voices. This obviously had nothing to do with the restaurant, but it felt worth mentioning if you are sitting along the booths behind the bar. The tables are close so everything felt very intimate with the couples on each side of us. It was cute though and the couples next to us felt like old friends as Terrence brought us all together to talk our favorite cocktails so far, what glassware we loved, and then we would all go back about our business. It was absolutely lovely and will 100% return. Excellent views! Excellent vibes! I definitely felt like I was in a city bigger than Grand Rapids during this dinner.
